McCartney Electric
Company Overview
We are a comprehensive electrical contracting firm, licensed, bonded, insured, and certified. We focus on bespoke residential electrical work, such as lighting, home automation, panel upgrades, ceiling fans, and data/communication/video systems. If it involves wiring, we can resolve the issue. Having 35 years of experience, with 20 years in the lower desert and 15 in the Joshua Tree and surrounding Morongo Basin, we are familiar with the region, its vibe, and the local inspection processes. Most importantly, we collaborate with you, not just for you. We are excited to meet your electrical needs and any concerns you may have.
I started McCartney Electric back in 1996, after gaining 10 years of experience with some of the best electrical contractors in the Coachella Valley and Low Desert. I work across all phases of residential, commercial, and custom electrical projects. I found my passion in custom residential work, lighting, and lighting design, and obtained my California State C-10 Electrical Contractor License. I treat each project as if it were my own home or business. I look forward to fulfilling all your electrical, lighting, and repair needs. Here to serve, Jimi.

Recommended Customer Reviews

He did a wiring job for me and the quote was lower than my other quote but I didn't know why. He did the repair after the promised date and I paid him and all seemed fine but my renter said he couldn't use the plug that Jimi had serviced. Jimi said he should have done it differently and charged me more the first time. He corrected his mistake for no charge which was honorable but it should have been done right in the first place. I was fine with a higher price and just want things done right. Later, I mailed him a plastic box to put on my meter. He kept the box which is my property and won't return my texts. He didn't keep his word and install the light fixtures by the date promised which was part of the same job. I thought he was a stand up guy but he's proven that isn't true. Do not use him. You will be disappointed.

I needed a thirty year old house updated to code. Jimi knew exactly what was needed and was clear on choices where choices were available. The work was of excellent quality and there was good communication during the job. And everything was done at a reasonable price. I would use him again.

Excellent service!! I called Jimi this morning about my ceramic kiln, which was being unresponsive. He came by only an hour later, and diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly. I'll definitely be calling him again if the need arises. Thanks Jimi!

I made an appointment with this guy a week in advance. He didn't come. I called three times to see what was going on, texted. No reply. Obviously, I cannot recommend someone who won't show up or even call to explain what's going on. Disgusted.
